It will play when you reach 100% but if still seeding you don't want to close it or the file can corrupt.

    You need to water your PC while it says seeding until the status changes to sprouting.

    I'd like to laugh, but when I was really new I probably would have asked the same question. I remember back in the day, it was fucking hard for me to even figure out how to work with torrents.

    Tbh a lot of the torrenting terminology is quite metaphorical and doesn't make sense without understanding all the mechanics. Seeding? Leeching? Ports? Clients? And even the central concept - "torrent"?

    Fully agree but :

    • how long does it take to look it up online. It surely takes longer to have an answer back
    • you could even ask any AI if looking it up seems too difficult
    • how can you not tell yourself it's no longer downloading, I am at 100%, I already waited a few minutes then probably it's doing something else must be safe to stop it and look if my file is OK
